Bob McBride played and coached (superbly) for the Fighting Irish, and he fought and nearly died for our country. He embodied the ideals that make Notre Dame fans and alumni most proud. As offensive line coach under Frank Leahy, Coach McBride worked tirelessly to ensure that all Notre Dame players succeeded in the classroom as well as on the field and earned their Notre Dame degrees. He was also instrumental in recruiting the first black football players to Notre Dame in the early 1950s.

I hope all the readers of the OC Domer Blog will remember Bob, his wife Mary, and the entire McBride family in their prayers.

About OC Domer

I am a 1986 graduate of the University of Notre Dame living in the heart of Orange County, California. Working hard and raising two kids with my wonderful wife (SMC '86), I'm running the rat race like everyone else I see on the freeways of Southern California. I am passionate about my family and my University. My family won't want me blogging about them, but the University doesn't seem to mind. So I'll share my opinions about Fighting Irish football, the University in general, politics, and anything else that comes to mind.
